My take on impropriety's Aetherlich deck. (Definitely go check it out, it has a really in depth analysis on how the various lich effects differ.) Playing with Marchesa offers us a few benefits, she add the Monarch rule to the game, which can draw attention off us, give us tokens to block with (they also trigger our soul siblings), and interacts positively with Smothering Tithe. Seeing we're already running Sundial of the Infinite adding red gives us access to the Final Fortune + Isochron Scepter combo.

dropping a color lessens how strict the landbase needs to be, so we can run more utility lands, and I've opted to test some subpar, tapped lands for the sake of extra lifegain.

more in depth description, and certain rules interactions incoming.
